Epson Printer Cartridges

[originalspa]

I've had my Epson printer for about a year now, it's a R245 if that helps!

How long are the printer cartridges supposed to last? I don't do alot of printing, the odd photo every now and again but I'm not a heavy user so how come they only last 3 months if I'm lucky!

My last Epson printer (C84) cartridges used to last at least 6 months and I'm not doing any more printing than usual!

I like this printer as the quality's pretty good but it's costing me a fortune!!!

Thanks by the way!

Hello originalspa.

It's interesting that you should note a 50% reduction in cartridge life. Check out the review of your printer at this link.

The comments at the end may throw some light on your problem.

I don't know where to buy the cartridges but a Google search will no doubt give you some ideas.

I can recommend Touchstone and 7dayshop. Bear in mind though that if you DON'T use your printer much, the cartridges/heads can dry out. Try to print something at least once a week.
